Hello Jack,
You are more than welcome.

Thanks... everyone for your help... the 360 day time out sounds like the right explanation

@ Tony, you are definitely right as we sometimes,have to sign in again at yahoo or gmail to avoid being on all the time.

360 degrees, perhaps Googling around, I found http://www.commentcamarche.net/faq/3020-wifi-cours-d-introdu... and http://www.dataprint.fr/index.php?option=com_content&view=ar... which refer to e.g. "rayonnement sur 360°", something that sounds relevant for wi-fi. It sounds a bit strange with 360 days and not 365. What I cannot make sense of are "refresh" and "j", but maybe someone else with wi-fi knowledge can.

I suspect... ...what it means is that the roaming connection will last for 360 days (i.e. nearly a year) before having to be re-established. Usually, most sites have some kind of time-out after which you have to re-connect all over again. In the vase of my bank, this is about 10 minutes (and it's a dmaned nuisance!); other sites like e-Bay etc. will 'remember' your connection for (say) 30 days. I imagine this longer period is for low-security user convenience, with a much longer time-out just to ensure people don't inadvertently stay signed in forever...
